CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS
Pursuant to 35 U.S.C. §119(a), this application claims the benefit of earlier filing date and right of priority to Korean Application No. 2001-34009, filed on Jun. 15, 2001, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein in their entirety.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to method and apparatus of recording digital data stream on a recording medium such as a high-density digital versatile disk (called ‘HD-DVD’ hereinafter).
The present invention further relates a recording medium on which digital data stream has been written in accordance with said method.
2. Description of the Related Art
Owing to technical improvement in the fields of video/audio data compression, digital modulation/demodulation, and so on, a digital television broadcast system broadcasting TV signals in the form of digital data stream is being standardized rapidly.
In the digital television broadcast system, audio/video (A/V) signals to be broadcasted are compressed according to the data compressing rule specified by MPEG 2 (Moving Picture Experts Group) and the compressed A/V data are broadcasted in the form of transport stream (TS), which is also defined in MPEG 2 standard, composed of series of 188-byte-long transport packets (TPs).
The digital TV broadcast system, which will be commercialized soon owing to technical improvement of A/V data compression and transmission, is able to support much higher-quality of video and audio than analog TV system. Furthermore, it ensures data compatibility with a digital communication device, a digital storage device, etc.
In the meantime, a new device is being developed to prepare for commercialization of digital TV broadcast system. That is a digital recorder being able to receive TS of digital broadcast programs and record it on a writable HD-DVD. Such a digital recorder will be widely used as the digital TV broadcast system is commercialized in earnest.
Digital A/V data compressed in the manner of MPEG 2 for the digital TV broadcast system are composed of I-(Intra-), P-(Predictive-), and B-(Bidirectionally predictive-) pictures. An I picture is a basic one and a P or a B picture can be presented as a video frame if there is an associated I picture.
In the digital TV broadcast system, the compressed digital A/V data are divided to insert in each payload field of series of 188-byte-long (inclusive of header) TPs which are broadcasted sequentially.
Then, the digital recorder would record the TPs carrying TV broadcast programs on a writable HD-DVD in the same order as they are received. During the recording operation, a predetermined-sized, e.g., 4-byte time stamp indicative of packet arrival time may be added to each TP.
If the recorded TPs reaches some packs, e.g., 32 packs during the TP recording, the digital recorder groups those packs into a single ‘high-density stream object unit’ (called ‘HOBU’ hereinafter) and creates and writes search information for that HOBU as navigation data. The search information includes location or location-associated time information pointing to the head of a HOBU.
However, if the broadcasted TPs are recorded in the same order as they are received as aforementioned, the head of each HOBU is not aligned with the start of an arbitrary picture as shown in FIG. 1. In case that digital data stream has been recorded as shown in FIG. 1, when the digital recorder searches the recorded digital data stream for a certain scene equivalent to a picture a user wants to view, it searches as jumping in the unit of HOBU with reference to the stored search information for all HOBUs.
However, because a HOBU includes the rest data of a previous picture in its head area as shown in FIG. 1, a complete video frame can not be constructed from the data in the head area. Therefore, the digital recorder must discard the rest data of a previous picture in the current HOBU and obtain a complete picture data from successive TPs following the discard data. After the obtained complete picture data are presented as a video frame, the digital recorder may confirm whether or not reproduction is to be started from the presented picture based on user's command, e.g., ‘continue searching’ or ‘play’.
However, the additional searching operation within a HOBU for a complete picture takes more searching time. Namely, it makes worse random accessibility of recorded digital data stream.
If the rest data of a previous picture are outputted not discarding, noise might be generated in a video frame.
Consequently, if digital data stream of digital TV broadcast programs are recorded as they received, the aforementioned disadvantages would arise inevitably.
On the other hand, if a read-only HD-DVD containing A/V digital data stream to be presented through a digital television set is manufactured, without any consideration of alignment of the head of each HOBU with picture start, in the manner that digital data stream is divided and filled in each payload field of successive TPs with which HOBUs are packed, as illustrated in FIG. 1, then, such-manufactured read-only HD-DVD would still have the aforementioned drawbacks such as bad random-accessibility.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the present invention to provide digital data stream recording method and apparatus which packs a new HOBU with data of an arbitrary complete picture from its head point while recording the digital data stream on a recording medium as grouping predetermined size among the recorded digital data stream to a HOBU.

The accompanying drawings, which are included to provide a further understandings of the invention, illustrate the preferred embodiments of the invention, and together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
In order that the invention may be fully understood, a preferred embodiment thereof will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of an embodiment of a digital recorder recording digital data stream on a writable medium in accordance with the present invention.
The digital recorder of FIG. 2, which may be a video disk recorder (called ‘VDR’) being able to write digital A/V data on a writable HD-DVD, comprises an A/V stream converter 10 converting received A/V signal to A/V data stream compressed according to MPEG 2 standard; an A/V stream separator 11 separating the compressed A/V data stream into audio and video stream; a PES packetizer 12 packetizing the audio and the video stream into PES (Packetized Elementary Stream) packets defined in MPEG 2 standard, respectively; a TS packetizer 13 slicing the video and the audio PES packets, respectively, to make respective series of TPs, and multiplexing the respective series of video and audio TPs into a single TS; a writing processor 14 re-formatting the TS from the TS packetizer 13 to record/reproduction suitable structure and outputting disk writing signals corresponding to re-formatted data; an optical pickup 15 forming marks and spaces along a track of an inserted writable HD-DVD according to the disk writing signals; and a controller 17 receiving information on data size being written, creating search information based on the received information, and writing all of the created search information on the writable HD-DVD 16 through the writing processor 14.
The A/V stream converter 10, if a digital TV broadcast program formatted in TS is received, extracts compressed A/V data stream from the TS through decoding successive TPs. However, if non-MPEG formatted program stream broadcasted by other standard of digital TV broadcast system, e.g., DirecTV is received, the A/V stream converter 10 conducts decoding algorithm suitable to that system to extract A/V data, and compresses the extracted A/V data again according to data compressing rule of MPEG 2 standard. If an analog A/V signal is received, the A/V stream converter 10 digitizes audio and video signal, respectively, and conducts MPEG 2 compressing operation for the respective digitized signal.
FIG. 3 shows a schematic process of recording received A/V data stream in accordance with the present invention.
A received data stream of an arbitrary format is converted to MPEG 2-compressed data stream 301 by the A/V stream converter 10. Then, the PES packetizer 12 at the next stage analyzes video stream of the A/V data stream 301 to search for every I-, P-, and B-picture section, and composes a PES packet with at least one picture section. The PES packetizer 12 also composes a PES packet with audio data stream of each frame group.
At this time, a PES header is added at the front of each PES packet to form a complete PES packet. A Presentation Time Stamp (PTS) for a picture included in a PES packet is written in a PES header thereof. A Decoding Time Stamp (DTS) for an included picture is optionally written in a PES header.
Through the above operations, the PES packetizer 12 outputs a data stream 302 shown in FIG. 3.
When the PES packetizer 12 transmits the composed data stream 302 to the TS packetizer 13, it also sends a ‘PES packet start signal’ (PPSS) indicative of transmission of start data of a video PES packet, in the strict sense, PES header of a video PES packet to the TS packetizer 13. The TS packetizer 13 slices the video and the audio PES packets, respectively, to make two series of video and audio TPs, and multiplexes the video and the audio TPs into a single TS 303 which is depicted in FIG. 3.
If the PPSS is received from the PES packetizer 12 while making TPs from received data, the TS packetizer 13 starts to insert just-received data in payload field of the next video TP, namely, it creates a new TP and writes data received concurrently with the PPSS in the created new TP. If a current video TP is not fully filled with received data at the time when the PPSS is received, its remaining area is padded with null data. The elliptic zones 303 a in FIG. 3 show partially null-padded TPs through the above operations of the TS packetizer 13.
The TS packetizer 13 delivers TPs to the writing processor 14 in the same order as they are multiplexed. If a TP being delivered at present contains start data of a sliced PES packet, then the TS packetizer 13 notifies the writing processor 14 of that fact by sending PES starting TP signal (PSTS) concurrently to the writing processor 14.
The writing processor 14 gathers the received TPs. Whenever the PSTS is received from the TS packetizer 13, the writing processor 14 checks whether or not TPs gathered until now are larger than the size of a single HOBU, a grouping unit of the writable HD-DVD 16. If not greater, the writing processor 14 only memorizes the location, e.g., ‘SBi’ of a TP received at the same time as the PSTS, and continues to gather the TPs received thereafter. If greater, for example, if current case is at ‘SBi+1’, the writing processor 14 re-formats the gathered TPs excluding back TPs placed from a previously-memorized position ‘SBi’ to form writing data group for a single HOBU, and modulates and outputs the formed writing data group.
The size of writing data group formed for a single HOBU is less than the capacity of a single HOBU because of the exclusion of back TPs which would cause, if included in the writing data group, the whole gathered TPs to exceed the capacity of a HOBU. Therefore, the writing processor 14 generates additional null data of which size is equal to the remaining capacity of a HOBU. The generated null data follows the outputted writing data group and are written in the remaining area of the HOBU. The null data padded in the HOBU are sure to prevent possible reproducing or decoding errors.
Next successive TPs are gathered to the remaining TPs not included in the formed writing data group for a HOBU, namely, TPs existing from the previously-memorized position ‘SBi’ to the just-received position ‘SBi+1’ and the latest TP received concurrently with the PSTS, and they will be written in the next HOBU when the gathered size is greater than the capacity of a single HOBU. Consequently, the next HOBU will also begin with start data of a picture, in the strict sense, header of a PES packet of which data field begins with start data of a picture.
The modulated signals outputted from the writing processor 14 are written in the form of marks and spaces on the writable HD-DVD 16 through the optical pickup 15.
In the meantime, after forming the writing data group for a single HOBU, the writing processor 14 informs the controller 17 of the writing data group formation for a single HOBU and the number of the PSTSs received until the writing data group formation.
On the other hand, the controller 17 continuously receives and stores PTSs written in the PES header of each PES packet by the PES packetizer 12. Thus, if the writing data group formation for a single HOBU is informed along with the number of the PSTSs, the controller 17 calculates a PTS time length of the present writing data group formed for a single HOBU based on the stored PTSs of every PES packet to create search information for that HOBU. The search information may include PTS time length of each HOBU and accumulated PTS time length up to each HOBU (it need not size information and accumulated size information of each HOBU if the size of a HOBU is constant). The search information will be created for each HOBU-sized data, and it is transmitted to the writing processor 14 to be written on a pre-assigned area as navigation data in the middle of A/V data recording operation or after A/V data recording is done.
According to the explained writing operation of the writing processor 14, the received A/V data stream forms a data written format 304 on the writable HD-DVD 16 as shown in FIG. 3.
In other words, the head of each HOBU is aligned with the start data of a PES packet, namely, the start of an arbitrary picture.
Therefore, when the controller 17, in search mode, identifies a certain HOBU using the navigation data and accesses the identified HOBU, an additional minute searching operation for a picture start is not necessary because the start of the identified HOBU is exactly a picture start.
The above-explained data stream recording format 304 of FIG. 3 is applicable to a read-only HD-DVD which stores A/V data stream in the form of pre-pits. Namely, A/V data stream is formed on a read-only HD-DVD in the manner that each HOBU begins with picture start data. In addition, search information for each HOBU is recorded in a navigation data area or as a navigation data file.
Needless to say, an additional minute searching operation in a HOBU for a picture start is removed for a such-manufactured read-only HD-DVD.
On the other hand, when A/V data stream is written on a conventional read-only DVD, it is packetized into PES packets in the manner that one PES packet is written in one sector.
However, in the present A/V stream recording method, a stream section including at least one picture, of which size is quite larger than that of a sector of a conventional read-only DVD, is packetized into one PES packet. Therefore, the number of PES headers added to each PES packet is reduced considerably in comparison with the A/V data stream recording scheme conducted for a conventional read-only DVD.
The above-explained A/V data stream recording method and apparatus, and a recording medium in which A/V data stream has been recorded through said method can improve random accessibility of recorded A/V data stream and increase the actual data recording efficiency of a high-density recording medium in comparison with recording format of a conventional read-only DVD.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and variations can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention. Thus, it is intended that the present invention cover the modifications and variations of this invention provided they come within the scope of the appended claims and their equivalents.
